What is the Best Starbucks Drink – Classics or Seasonal?

By Hannah Small ’25

As the weather changes and seasons start to shift, so do menus. One of Westminster’s classic places to visit is the Simsbury Starbucks. It is a convenient place for every student on the hill, whether grabbing a quick refresher or going out for coffee. Going from pumpkin spiced flavoring to gingerbread, the seasons have affected the fan-favorite Simsbury Starbucks menu. But what is truly the best Starbucks drink? Personally, I think any classic Starbucks drink is the best, since no matter what time of the year it is, they are always available. Although some may disagree, many view the pumpkin sweet cold foam as top tier, or the sugar cookie almond milk latte. These drinks only exist seasonally, but they still reach the top of the charts for Starbucks customers. After researching I've learned that one of the most popular Starbucks drinks is the pumpkin cream cold brew, a seasonal flavor only offered during the fall. So maybe the seasonal drinks have won the category of best Starbucks drinks, although, in the end, it all comes down to personal preference.
